Thanks for your comments.Thanks for posting your new trees. Really like the work you’ve done. I was curious as to whether you modified the soil at all before putting back in their pots?
Thanks for your comments.
I didn't do anything to the soil. Should I have - I'm new? I plan to let this grow out for a bit.
Lol. Evergreen in Carmel Valley. I picked up 3 others I haven't started on yet and a couple other deciduous projects with some decent trunks.Took one look at the first picture and then at your location and instantly knew which nursery you went to LOL. I picked up a few of those blue rug junipers (juniperus horizontalis) as well, repotted them into smaller terra cotta pots, started fertilizing, and now im deciding whether i want to graft or use the foliage thats already on it. Feel free to reach out if you got any questions!
I went back Friday - no maples yet - said to check back in 3 weeks. I ended up leaving with another blue rug, 2 more junipers, a white alder and a 15 gallon boxwood though. lol.Nice trees! Dang, I need to check out that nursery too. Not that I have room for any more trees.
! LOLBetter it's not!
Thanks, I didn't repot them. I just pulled them out to check out the trunk and a quick 'before' photo op (it looks like I repotted the blue rug but a bunch of soil fell out when I was cutting the pot and I got some ground soil in there when I tried to scoop it back in).View attachment 372308 ! LOL
@darryl1 Killer blue rug. I call sorce the blue rug man, you've made him jealous.
Not sure why you removed the projects from the nursery cans to style them...?
This counts as a repot many claim, to slip pot or to remove, disturbing the finer feeder roots.
The one in question about procumbens, is not. Not that there's anything wrong with procumbens
a juniper is what you make it, but yours has mostly scale foliage, but does indeed have some juvinile
foliage, in this case needle foliage which is a result of some stressor at some point in recent history.
Do not be surprised with the amount of removal of the foliage, that is throws a lot of juvenile foliage
as a result. Also, it appears to have some yellowing of the foliage, which would be enough of a concern
to leave at the nursery, but since not, best of luck, it will be nice if it pulls through. Both of them.
After care of both is of most importance, protecting from drying winds, giving good sunlight, and not
drying out at all, nor wet for prolonged periods, and misting the foliage often throughout the day.
I’m gonna have to go check them out! I’m looking for a couple trees to get started as well.I went back Friday - no maples yet - said to check back in 3 weeks. I ended up leaving with another blue rug, 2 more junipers, a white alder and a 15 gallon boxwood though. lol.
